Terrain Feedback Wanted

[BallisticTerrain]

In want of becoming a better artistic terrainer, I present you my effort for judgement. Any and all constructive criticism is appreciated.
Updated version in replies.

1. Too flat
2. Needs more tile variations
3. Too less trees
4. Why rocks on the castle?
5. Needs some shrub\grass

Pretty nice for a start, correct the issues that i pointed and it'll become better! Keep working!

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Thanks, I'll post the updated version when I'm done.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Heres the new version, I'm thinking I should add some buildings behind the wall or something.

You really should've begun the terrain with a larger area, from this close the ground tile looks very awful.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Why those trees from the left are some small?
Also u should add brick in the city\castle area.

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Brick?
Which trees? The furs? The Deciduous?

ooookay, first, scrap those trees, they look very unrealistic, I'd recommend taking a close look at all the threes in UTM and picking the ones that best suit your angle, the glow models on the top just don't fit, I really don't see why they are there. It may look better if you remove the generic skies, add a stormsphere and some clouds, then play around with the tints (including fog tints). Also, If you are going to use a sun you should make it a bit smaller (you could use sun flares instead of glow if you wish). Fix those, and let us see what happens

The trees look unrealistic? Those are the highest res trees I could find. The ones in the UTM are waaay lower res. But thanks for the rest of your advice.
Oh, and glow models are there for a concept I was working on but you're right, they don't fit atm so I'll remove them till later.

The yellowish trees on the left of the creen are way to small, fatal visual error. xD
Also may i notice that, my personal opinion, i hate mountains/hills to be too sharp, i mean look at them, its like knives poiting the sky, flaten them a bit with the smoothing tool
also trees dont grow on rocks, you have covered the mountains with rock tile and yet trees sprouted there, which is unrealistic

 

[BallisticTerrain]

Thanks for feedback. I think I'm going to scrap this one and make a new one with all I learned when I have time.

Don't pick tree models just because they are high res ones, you should try them and judge yourself. Also, try to be more creative, think of something unique, think outside the box.
